"post a link so we can judge" is precisely the attitude on SO that I find reprehensible.

Show something to support your accusation of an entire community (or 2) seems entirely reasonable.

  "I have no problem with x. Prove to me that you have a problem with x.", seems entirely reasonable to you?

    Yes. You post a question of yours that's been unfairly shut down. If you have no such question you clearly don't have a problem with x.

      I've never had a question closed, but I have had to deal with condescending responses. If I've gotten too much shit on a question, I usually delete it after I've gotten the information I need, rendering the evidence unavailable (even to myself as the poster after a window of time).

        You (claim to) delete useful answers, then complain about SO's behaviour? Wow.

        Stack Overflow curates its public-facing content, and so do I, when using real-name accounts. Given a choice between being seen taking shit from someone, investing time in arguing with that person, or just erasing the exchange altogether, the third option is sometimes the most expedient. I don't do it often. Ideally people would just be polite, and questions could just be answered by anyone who cared to answer them, with low-scoring exchanges de-emphasized instead of being shut down.

Do you prefer avoiding hard evidence and instead forming opinions based on a comment's emotional reach?

  How is me having an issue with SO overall, any different then someone not have any issues with SO overall? One requires hard evidence and one does not?

  Why is the burden of proof is on them, not you? Prove there are no questions where someone has been treated unfairly. I posit you cannot. Person A: I have been treated unfairly. Person B: I hear this often, but no one ever offers any proof of it; I don’t believe any of these people, and posit that they are all wrong. You tell me who seems unreasonable here. I personally have had fights with moderators, and took my complaints to meta because they were behaving inappropriately. Now, I cannot believe you can honestly say you’ve never seen that, because https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/92064/is-there-somewhere-to-complain-about-offensive-moderator-behaviour https://meta.stackexchange.com/questions/92064/is-there-some..., its a damn FAQ question. So... say what you will. I support the parent comment; you’re being totally unreasonable.
